"So...... What's the situation now?"

Gu Bei and Eriyi stood side by side on the empty street, looking at the sparse pedestrians around them, feeling a little confused.

It always feels like someone has been deleted for a while with the Crimson King.

Gu Bei turned his head and glanced at Eriyi, trying to remember the cause and effect of the incident.

He remembered that he called Lu Ming and the others to his home yesterday to deal with the legacy of the Chinese New Year's Eve operation, and then because it was not early, plus Lu Mingfei ate something that was completely inconsistent with the human digestive system, even the Liuku Immortal Thief could not resolve it, so the stomach was not very comfortable, so Gu Bei left Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiao and others overnight.

There are still a lot of rooms in the villa anyway.

And then ......

After dinner, Gu Bei returned to the room, ready to study the newly arrived immortal text and the unconventional Tongtian Urn and Divine Skill Hundred Refinement, but before he could start today's practice, Eri Yi ran into his room and said that he wanted him to go out for a walk with him.

One thing to say, Gu Bei has no nightlife.

When everyone else was clubbing, Gu Bei's night action was really monotonous except for sleeping and cultivating.

Even Lu Mingfei will play games all night!

Of course, it's not because he's a good baby, he just feels that clubbing and bundling are too boring.

A group of people twist their bodies in restless tunes and frantic sweeping lights, venting the instincts of the beast in a dark and misty environment, stimulating the secretion of pheromones, seeking impulses and pleasures. literature

This behavior is no different from the courtship of animals in nature, and is essentially a release.

But Gu Bei himself didn't have anything to release.

He's always been doing what he wants to do and being who he wants to be.

Gu Bei never lived for others.

For him, if he has time to vent his emotions, it is better to use this time to improve his strength - so he devotes his night time to practice.

Occasionally, it is also used for sleeping.

Although Inhumans have a low need for sleep, they also need to sleep - this is also true for hybrids, as well as for Dragonlords.

So this constitutes the whole of Gu Bei's nightlife.

However, in the face of Eriyi's invitation to travel at night, Gu Bei did not refuse.

As for the reason...... Because this time was too late, Gu Bei felt that it was his responsibility to protect Eri from being bullied by the bad guys.

Well, this reason can't even be persuaded by Gu Bei himself.

Eri Yi, the blood of the White King, the holder of the imperial blood, the blood inheritance boundary breaker, and the spirit of words is a super-dangerous level of judgment.

Theoretically, no one in this world can do anything to her except the Dragon King.

This kind of person needs Gu Bei's protection?

So this reason is not valid.

So...... Prevent Eri from being deceived by the bad guys......

Neither will this one.

Eri is just simple, not stupid.

And because she is so simple, she can clearly distinguish between the kindness and malice of others.

So very few people can deceive Eri with malice.

So...... What other reason is there?

Gu Bei couldn't find a reason, but he still came out with him.

In fact, he knew exactly why.

Because the person who invited him was Eri.

To be reasonable, if someone else runs to Gu Bei's room in the middle of the night and says that he wants him to go for a walk with him, then Gu Bei will definitely be slapped with a big face.

Even if it's a good brother Chu Zihang, it's not good.

Lu Mingfei is even worse, Gu Bei will give him two extra kicks.

Not only men, but also women will not be given preferential treatment here in Gubei.

But the only exception is Eri.

So Gu Bei was in a daze and followed Eriyi out of the house.

It wasn't until the lock of the villa door "clicked" that Gu Bei did

Coming back to your senses from the fugue.

He realized what he was doing.

and Eri's ...... Two people alone...... Night.

To be honest, if it had been a few days ago, Gu Bei would not have noticed this kind of thing at all, because although he had a good impression of Eri Yi before, the relationship between the two was more like that hazy feeling.

Gu Bei often said that others couldn't see his feelings clearly, but it was the same when the same thing fell on him.

No one can cut through the mess when it comes to feelings—unless he's already skilled.

Of course, Gu Bei can't be a skilled scumbag, but it is better to say that this thing has no experience at all except for theoretical knowledge.

It's like the male protagonist of "The World Only God Knows".

No, he's not as good as the male protagonist of that anime.

At least Lord Katsura Katsura can skillfully apply the experience of love games to the real world, while Gu Bei has basically never played any galgae except butter.

Gaps visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, Gu Bei, who couldn't recognize his heart, could only rely on instinct to get along with Eri Yi temporarily.

In fact, Gu Bei's thoughts were quite rubbish at that time.

As a person who has traveled through the afterlife, his view of love has been full of holes, and at that time, he treated this behavior with Eri Yi with the feeling of "trying".

It means "try first together".

After all, just a dozen years later, this relationship model is very popular, and there are men and women everywhere who want to "give it a try", and no one is seriously considering falling in love at all.

Gu Bei is a standard, a man who is influenced by the times.

So Gu Bei didn't feel anything at the beginning.

In his opinion anyway. I haven't talked about it in my two lives, and I finally have a sister who likes me and is so punctual, so it's not in the way to "give it a try" first.

And Eri doesn't know what love is.

These two people, one doesn't understand anything, and the other is distorted by the times, so they are together in a blur.

Not even a formal start.

But later, Gu Bei grew up slowly.

He has been through a lot, seen a lot, and understood a lot.

Lu Mingfei's emotional entanglement with Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiao, the separation and reunion between Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, the fate driven between Caesar and Nuonuo, and Chu Tianjiao's distant waiting for Su Xiaoyan.

He suddenly understood that there was no way to "give it a try" to the emotional thing.

This is a very pure thing, and any "attempt" is defiled.

So he began to re-examine his feelings for Eri.

Then he suddenly realized that he didn't know when, and it was no longer the idea of "giving it a try".

When did that change?

Was it when the two of them wore Ultraman and little monster clothes and walked through the streets of Katori Town?

Or when Eri fell out of the birthday party of the Snake Eight family and reunited in the Sky Tree?

Or was it earlier?

Gu Bei suddenly found that he couldn't remember when his thoughts had changed.

This change is imperceptible, and he is hidden in every detail of Gu Bei's life.

Hidden in the customized couple clothes in the wardrobe of the two, hidden in the game console that the two of them are online together, hidden in Gu Bei After the practice is finished every morning, when he opens his mobile phone, he can see the good morning left by Eri Yi before going to bed.

It seems that he has long ceased to "give it a try".

The innocent girl has long taken over his life, and then left her own traces.

So, what do girls think?

What does Eri think?

Gu Bei didn't know.

Although it is suspected of boasting to say this, Gu Bei thinks that his eyesight is still very good.

A lot of people will be him

See through at a glance.

But Eri is not among the "many people".

Because the little girl is so simple, her personality of saying something makes her behavior not need to guess at all, which only increases the difficulty for Gu Bei to see through her thoughts.

For example, if someone finds Gu Bei with money, then Gu Bei will think that the other party wants to hire him for something, or make a deal with him.

If this person is Chu Zihang or Lu Mingfei, then Gu Bei will feel that these two guys should have borrowed money before and not repaid it, and now they will return it to him.

But if this person is Erika......

She really just wanted to give Gu Bei money, and she had no other ideas.

But it was so simple, Gu Bei couldn't guess it.

It is in line with the old saying: the virtual is the real, and the real is the virtual.

Gu Bei couldn't see through Eri Yi's thoughts.

And he didn't want to see through it.

In fact, he was afraid to see through.

Gu Bei understands Eriyi, he knows that with Eriyi's three views, he will not understand what love is at all, nor will he understand love.

In the anime that Eri has seen, there are very few things like love and love - because this kind of intense feelings may make Eri, who was unstable at the time, out of control, so the snake eight families strictly control the works in this area and never let Eri see it.

This also leads to the fact that the little girl has basically zero knowledge in this area.

The theory and practice are zero, which is worse than Gu Bei, who is a single dog in two lifetimes.

So Gu Bei felt that Eri Yi probably hadn't thought about related things.

Maybe in Eriyi's eyes, it's not impossible that he is probably a brother like Yuan Zhisheng - Gu Bei thought so, so he was afraid of knowing Eriyi's thoughts.

There were even times when Gu Bei felt that it was good to maintain the status quo.

He doesn't have to think too much about it himself, and he doesn't have to let Eri understand love.

The two can still be a couple in the eyes of others, and he can also monopolize Eri Yi in this name.

This kind of thinking...... How despicable?

But Gu Bei couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although it was clear to him that this could not be.

Erika is a person with an independent personality, and after the bloodline issue is resolved, she can also live a normal life.

Her three views will gradually be completed, and she will gradually understand her heart.

And when that time comes...... Will she still be as dependent on herself as she is now?

Zhang San looked at Eri Yi who was bouncing around in the night, and couldn't help but think.

The night slowly opened like a scroll, and the air was as cold and transparent as the water of an ancient well, and the empty streets seemed to be countless times wider than during the day, and the warm light of goose-yellow was quietly cast by the street lamps like table lamps.

The buildings and mansions were almost out of light, and they were black, like a deserted countryside that no one patronized, and became a silent ruin.

Eri Yi in front of her suddenly turned her head and looked at Gu Bei fixedly.

Gu Bei, who was still thinking about things, noticed Eriyi's gaze, and finally came back to his senses, and looked at Eriyi's clear eyes, Gu Bei couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

"What's wrong?"

"I always feel that something is not quite right with Brother Gu Bei." Eri is suspicious.

Gu Bei opened his mouth, a little speechless.

Because of his simplicity, he has a very keen insight, so try not to lie in front of Eri - if it comes to the point where she must lie, convince yourself that she is not lying.

Gu Bei said half hidden, half hidden: "I'm thinking about things."

"About yours."

Sure enough, Eri Yi didn't suspect it, just nodded, and then ran back and took Gu Bei's hand.

Soft and delicate was stuffed into the palm of his hand, Gu Bei's body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly adjusted: "Ei Liyi?"

Eri Yi's face couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, but whispered:

"Let's go."

"Hmm." Gu Bei nodded.

The two walked hand in hand.

To be honest, there is really no romantic atmosphere, because both of them are a little absent-minded.

What was Eri thinking?

Actually, she didn't think too much about it.

Naturally, she didn't think it was a strange thing to hold hands, she just felt that her heart was beating a little fast, and her face was a little hot.

Are you sick?

Or is this what Sister Xia Mi and Sister Xiao Qiao said they liked?

Compared to Eriyi's thoughts, Gu Bei's heart was much more complicated.

Perhaps because of his despicable thoughts, Gu Bei always felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when he held Eriyi's hand.

It's as if you're a villain who abducts and traffics women and children.

But really speaking, that's how I kidnapped Eri from the Eight Snake Families...... Why didn't I feel guilty at that time?

Gu Bei thought about it and had an answer.

Because the target of his deception at that time was Yuan Zhisheng, it was already good that Gu Bei did not kill his eldest brother. Naturally, there will be no guilt.

And right now, he's "cheating" Eri.

Damn, is this what is called retribution?

It's too fast!

Gu Bei sorted out his complicated emotions, and suddenly heard Eriyi beside him speak: "Brother Gu Bei."

Gu Bei asked, "What's wrong?"

Eri hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I'm ...... Is it a night attack......

"Poof-" Gu Bei almost choked himself to death without a mouthful of spit, he was a little suspicious of his ears, "Eriyi, what did you just ask?"

"I ask, do I count this as a night attack on you......

"Bridge bean sacks!" Gu Bei hurriedly stopped Eriyi's words, "Where did you hear the word night attack?"

"It's Sister Natsumi and Sister Xiaoqiao," Eri didn't have any intention of betraying her teammates, "They said let me attack you at night so that I could ...... Yes......"

"What can be?"

Gu Bei silently made a note of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang in his heart, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

But Eri Yi suddenly stopped when she said this, no matter how Gu Bei asked, she didn't want to say the following words.

Gu Bei had no choice but to give up, and at the same time educated: "Eriyi, this kind of thing is not something that can be done casually, especially for a cute girl like you, let alone attacking a boy at night, this is very dangerous."

"Oh." Eri Yi nodded, "Then can I attack Brother Gu Bei at night?"

Gu Bei: "...... If you want to."

"Then I'm going to attack Brother Gu Bei at night tomorrow!"

「…… If you're happy, you'll be happy." Gu Bei sighed, he seriously suspected that Xia Mi and Su Xiaoqiao didn't explain the true meaning of the night attack to Eriyi, but this kind of thing was not good for him to talk about.

When I go back, I'll tell Sakura and ask her to educate Eri.

Gu Bei gave Sakura another job.

After getting Gu Bei's "Night Attack Permission", Eri Yi was obviously much more lively, she took Gu Bei's hand and shook it, and asked, "Can I attack Gu Bei's brother at night?"

"Hmm."

"Can I still take care of Brother Bei's hand?"

「…… Hmm."

"Then can I go on a date with Brother Gu Bei tomorrow?"

"Hmm...... Hmmm???"
